Overview

Angus Council’s current directory lists five recycling centres: Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie, Forfar and Montrose. The associated records include all five current sites, plus legacy records for Kirriemuir and Monifieth; Angus Council has published their closure, so those two should be treated as historical entries rather than part of today’s five-centre network.

The current household network is Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie, Forfar and Montrose. Angus residents in the Monifieth and Sidlaw wards may also use Dundee’s Baldovie and Riverside centres under the inter-authority arrangement; Dundee’s vehicle rules apply there.

Sort bagged waste before visiting

Forfar and Montrose operate sorting stations for bagged or containerised waste. You must remove recyclable items yourself; staff can advise where they belong. Sort at home first to make unloading easier.

Commercial loads still need a booking

All vehicles carrying commercial waste need a booking, even when the permitted recyclables do not require a disposal ticket. For chargeable materials, buy the correct ticket first and use its reference when booking. Household van and trailer loads do not need a commercial ticket.

Commercial Waste & Paid Tickets

Angus operates a Pre-Paid Ticket system for chargeable business waste. Traders and home-based businesses bringing chargeable materials must follow this process:

  1. Buy a Ticket: Purchase online based on vehicle size (£24.95 – £119.90).
  2. Book a Slot: Use your ticket reference number to reserve your arrival time.

Note: Separate tickets are required for each load (e.g., loaded van + trailer = 2 tickets).

Waste Acceptance Rules

Free for Businesses:

Textiles, Cardboard, Scrap Metal, Plastic Bottles, and Domestic Electricals do not usually require a paid ticket.

Strictly Prohibited:

These restrictions apply to commercial waste: asbestos, gas bottles, engine oil, vehicle batteries and commercial-sized fridges are not accepted.

Angus Pro-Tip: Waste from home-based businesses (like childminding or online shops) is legally Commercial Waste. Check whether your materials need a paid ticket, and book every commercial visit.
